Day 198 The day after

15th February Thursday

The ripple effect from yesterday’s announcement washed around Kelli’s family and friends like a tidal wave.

It had been a long time, since I was in this position, I was a little unprepared, for the attention, although the hugs and champagne was rather nice.

One of the tasks of the day was to take a new piece to Act 11 Boutique. It had been in Greer’s bedroom for a long time, but it no longer suited her needs. Other things that she had collected through her early teenage years was consigned to the donate pile.

The dresser was well constructed having been converted from an entertainment centre, all that I needed to do was make a new back panel and it was ready.

We dropped it off, then went to Tin Roof to pick up Kelli’s volunteer work that she has to commit to every month.

The evening was spent chilling, as Kelli flicked through endless screens of Pinterest looking for wedding dresses, it was like my life was flashing before my eyes, page after page, like an endless gambling machine.

It is heart warming for me to see the smile on Kelli’s face.
